A BIG STRIKE.

Forty Thousand sLongshoFe1aen, Dock
Laborers and VesseI-L oaders in New
York and Brooklyn In fdleness Through
Sympathy with the CoaI-Handlers:
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S--Twenty thousand
men are now on strike among the coal
shovelers, longshore-men, freight-handlers
and men employed on the river front in
almost every capacity, and the number
is augmented to close on 10000 by
the strikers on the Brooklyn and Jer
sey shores. In consequence, Il is almost
impossible fer any of the steamers for Eu-
rope or coastwise to leave port. The order
went forth Wednesday from the head
quarters of the 'Longshoremens' I'm
ion, which was backed by the Knights
of Labor Assembly No. 40, and this
morning the men turned out Beach
walkers were sent out to cover all the
various points on the river fronts where
the trouble was concentrated, and they
had particular instructions to use every
means to prevent any disturbance.
The strikers include 'longshoremen,
grain-handlers, grain-trimmers, coal-hand-
lers, bag-sewers, canalboat-men, tug-boat-
men, lighter-men and almost every de-
scription of common laborers.
The strikers believe the dispute will be
settled before the end of the third day.
The coal managers in this city state that
no meeting has been called to consider
prices and that no advance will be made,
no matter what price coal reaches here.
They say they will sell all the coal wanted
at their docks on the basis of 81 25 for stove
size.
At Pier North river there were vessels
waiting to have their freight moved, but
no men could be procured to do the work.
1t is expected that the transatlantic
steamer due out Saturday will not be able
to sail on account of their having
no means of getting the vessels
coal supply aboard. The White Star
liner Britannia was to have left port
yesterday morning, but she was unable to
get her complement of coal, and was de-
tanned. The State of Georgia, of the State
line, the Britannia, of the White Star line,
the Suevia, of the Hamburg line, and the
| Independent, of the Florio Runatino line to
| Italy, were all delayed by the strike. The
Gallia, of the Cunard line, the Devonia,
| of the Anchor line, the La Bourgogne,
| for Havre, the w. A. Schotten,
Of Amsterdam, and the Pennland,
of the Red Star line, are announced to sail
Saturday, but will probably not be able to
do so unless the strike is settled. The
coast-wise and southern-bound steamers
due out yesterday and the Trinidad for
Bermuda, the City of Columbus for Flori-
da ports, the City of Columbus for Charles
ton and Southern ports, and the Algiers for
| Galveston were also delayed.

A Man Arrested In New York for the
Crime-Strong Evidence Against Him.
New YORK, JAM Pa man giving the
name of Edward Younger was arrested
yesterday on charge of numbering the man
whose mutilated body was found in trunk
at Baltimore. The fist clew in the case
was given by Henry Beuse, Williams burg
saloon keeper, who informed the police
that man had left trunk at his place last
Saturday after FASTING a label directing it
to Baltimore. The trunk was soon after
ward taken away by an express company.
1t was then learned that the trunk was
taken to the saloon from % Ridge street.
New York.
The officers arrested Edward Younger,
who resides at22 Ridge street, and searched
the premises. They found that man
named August Baltz had been living with
Younger and that on Friday last they quar-
relied and Baltz had not been seen since.
The walls of the room where Baltz
had slept and the ceiling were be-
spattered with blood, and some one had at
tempted to dig the stains out of the walls
They found a large butchers saw marked
with blood and a hammer and knife also
blood-marked. The bedding Baltz had
slept on was bloody, and the floor was like
that of a shamble, covered with blood, and
efforts had evidently been made to wash
it up.
The police arrested Edgar Younger, Jr.,
aged seventeen, son of the other prisoner.
He said that Baltz had been living with
them for some time, and had plenty of
money. His father wanted Baltz to give
him some money to go into business with.
Baltz refused, and his father and he quar-
relied. On Monday last he saw his father
washing the floor and asked him what was
the matter, and his father said that he had
a serious quarrel with Baltz and he would
never see him again. He then told his son
that he must say nothing about it or he
would get him into trouble.

The Susquehanna River Rushing Through
the Main Street of the Town.
PORT DEPOSIT, Md, Jan. 28.-The ice in
the Susquehanna north of Port Deposit
began breaking up at $3.50 Wednesday
afternoon, and, piling up opposite this
place, forced the water back upon
the town in a frightful manner. In
thirty minutes the water was five or six
feet in the main street and running with a
swift current, carrying with it Ice, fences,
lumber and other debris. All the resi-
dences on the lower side of Main street,
with a few exceptions, were flooded
with three to five feet of water on
the first floors. Not more than three or
four families living on that side remained
in their houses. At all hours during the
night boats could be seen rowing up and
down the street, moving the residents as
their houses were invaded. No possible
conception can be formed of the loss and
destruction of the flood.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
break the ice gorge with dynamite. Re-
ports from up the river are that heavy ice
is coming down in. immense quantities.
Should the gorge opposite this place con-
tinue to resist the accommodating pressure
from above the result can not be conject-
ured, and the suspense is fearful.
